London-Ontario-Brooklyn-Based artist Jason McLean is well known for his intricate ink drawings that are often described as mental maps. The suite of 8 drawings included in our middle gallery exhibition all explore individual subjects ranging from the history of London hockey and baseball stars to Canadian celebrities living in the US to a walking tour of NYC and Toronto.
Influenced by his love of lists and with a wink to Greg Curnoe, McLean has stamped (using a 20 year old stamp pad set) some of the important names featured in each drawing around the perimeter of each page.
